Honeymoon's are wonderful!

So I started the new job on Monday... I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm trying to remember,,, this is the honeymoon phase,, where it all seems good. But it sure is an improvement over the last few months!

I have peers,,, actual peers who want to share information. The girl that will be my partner on projects is great. She just wants to learn, and is eager to share everything she knows about the clients,,, it's such a switch. We have already been able to identify strengths and weaknesses we both have, and how we will balance each other out...

It's nice to want to go into work... It's nice to be appreciated... This is such a new group, it's a little daunting, but I have already been able to contribute to some of the projects, and the help has been eagerly accepted... Pretty much the job is mine to define...

They all think I'm this quiet person,, but in actuality, I'm sitting back a little and observing... Observing the woman who thinks she knows everything and thinks she runs the show, the one who thinks if she acts innocent enough, she can get anyone to do anything,,even look up phone numbers for her?? She came in at 8:30 today, took 2 hour lunch and left at 3:00... and spent most of the day reading the paper... VERY hard worker :-) .... That's my competition...hmmmm...doesn't sound too challenging...

I'm not sure what I'm doing for Christmas... I was supposed to go over to an old friends house,, but I haven't been able to hook up with her,,, So I may just have a quiet day at home.... Which would be OK... I'm still trying to catch up from getting here at 9:30 Sunday night (after a 10 hour drive) and having to be at work at 8:00 the next morning!

If anybody's checking in,, I hope you have a great day tomorrow, and safe travels....
